Contestants encountered the phrase “marijuana problems have been sent to this ‘committee’ made up generally of members of both houses of Parliament.”

Rosenberg said, “This is really funny. I didn’t try to be funny. They are called joint commissions.”
While the joke was well received by most viewers, some Twitter users didn’t – criticizing the show as well as Bialik, who wasn’t easily accepted anyway. One Twitter user wrote, “Oh, but no #Risk The book please think of the children watching, their tender ears that have just been exposed to the cannabis reference? Referring to her often cited The Simpsons episode.
Fans have already begged Bialik to be “child-friendly” regarding adult themes. One user replied, indicating how to do it Alcohol is more dangerous than cannabis. “Ignorant jokes like yours don’t help.”
The late former host Alex Trebek can crack a joke or two about cannabis, too.

I love brownies—I’m a chocolate addict—and didn’t realize they were hash browns. And…whoa. This threw me in a loop. I dropped about half a dozen” .
